BottomFeeder 4.1 Arrives
I've just released BottomFeeder 4.1 - the web pages are updated, the docs are online, and the new release has rolled into the download area. Here's what's new:
- Reorganized feed menu to make feed modification easier to access
- Added support for the "del" key (feeds/folders)
- Bug fixes in the Network support libraries, fixes update block bug
- Bug fixes in the item identification code. Should prevent spurious return of old items as new
- Bug fixes to the blog posting tool's startup
- Added a new Quick Start Guide to the Documentation
- Fixed bugs in the Loading of Example Feeds from the website
- Modified the startup feeds for new installations
- Numerous small bug fixes elsewhere
This is mostly a bug fix release - the network libraries in particular have been cleaned up and made stable - there were issues with the library that came with 4.0. I've been running the code for awhile now - the base BottomFeeder and NetResources libraries have been stable for quite some time now. The Software With Style guys let me know that the latest release of their stuff fixed a number of problems I was having, so I've updated that (the display area of the viewer). Enjoy!

I notice that there is a new bug in the rendering. I see a light gray vertical line on the left side of some paragraphs, looks like the plain text paragraphs.

<p>I see that as being something in the default stylesheet for quoting/indenting. Try changing a style. My complaint is the missing blank line between paragraphs, but I found a style that worked well enough for me.</p>
Looks like the problem is the basic stylesheet

It looks to me that both the line and the paragraph spacing are related to the "basic" stylesheet. Selecting a different stylesheet makes both problems go away.
basic stylesheet needs fixing

I removed the line stuff and added "margin-top: 10px" in my basic stylesheet. Looks much better now. However, I suggest that a knowledgeable person review the stylesheets.
Additionally, on the BF downloads web page the latest docs are out of date, filename is also wrong.

All the documentation on the site is 4.1 - updated this morning. Note that the documentation publish dates are from mid-November though - the doc was complete while bugs were still being ironed out
